The hunt for Miss Universe Australia 2016 has began and we wanted to post the photos of the candidates for the upcoming pageant. This national beauty contest exists since 2004. Until 2000, while the Miss Australia Awards were held, the winners of the Miss Australia pageant would normally represent Australia at international Miss Universe pageants, but Australia did not have a representative in each year's event.

There was no Australian entrant to the Miss Universe pageant in 2001. In 2002 through 2004, the Australian representative to the Miss Universe pageant was chosen by the modeling agency owned by Deborah Miller. Although such "castings" are generally discouraged by the Miss Universe Organization, Jennifer Hawkins was named Miss Universe Australia 2004 and went on to become Miss Universe 2004.

There have been two Miss Universe title holders from Australia: Kerry Anne Wells in 1972 and Jennifer Hawkins in 2004. In February, 2016, was announced that the new boss of Miss Universe Australia is Troy Barbagallo, appointed by IMG.
